The spirit in which Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain will approach the fisheries question
promises much if it be correctly described by
the London correspondent of the New York
Tribune. He sis not going,' says Mr.. Small
ley, ito Washington as the attorney for
Canada; he goes out in the hope that the
Commission will be able to agree on terms
honorable to both countries and beneficial to
both. He is not going in order to drive a
sharp bargain. He starts in spirit of
great friendliness to America. Mr.. Cham
berlain is not a Foreign Office man, but is
the impersonation of the spirit which aims
at friendly relations between England and
America. There is no public man in Eng
land who has stronger sympathy with Amer
leans or greater admiration for American in
stitutions. He goes. OF course, as the Eng
hsh representative and win uphold English
interests, but he expresses no opinion on the
points at issue between America and Cana
da. The question is "A new one to him, but
he would not have undertaken this mission
unless with the conviction that a settlement
was practicable and probable"

The justice who investigated the recent
accident at grade crossing at Hobrook,
Mass, rendered the following opinion:
fail to find that a railroad train can be run at
pubic road at grade, where the view is oh
structes In either direction and where the cross
ing Is unguarded by fagman or unprotected by
gale, without serious danger TO the public trav-
elng by carriage on such road even though such
puDnc road Is slightly travelled.
The justice was quite right. Grade cross
ings cannot be made safe except by flag
man or system of gates; but they might be
made safer than they are now if some meth
Cd were adopted to inform persons when
they are in their vicinity. As it is now, I'M

That Canada expects to set an advantage
Is, however, no reason for opposing the for
nation of an international commission. If
the administration would do its duty there
would be no need of commission, but since
It will not, something else must be done.
Nothing coul1 be worse than the present con-
dltion of affairs. A commission certainly
would not make it less tolerable, and it might
present a basis for an adjustment honorable
and satisfactory to this country, which would
leave the Dominion authorities no shadow

The flight of time does not seem to be
regarded with as much solicitude in Paris
as in an American city. The Parisians
allow the minutes to take care of them
selves. l have never seen two clocks in
Paris, if l found them running, that kept
the same time. Once there was a pecu-
liar industry here which obviated this in
convenience. 1t was that of the clock
winder. This person was paid n certain
sum each year to keep the clocks in
order. He had his regular set of Gus
toners, and 1 believe made quite n good
thing out of it. He has vanished with
the empire. In every room at every
hotel and boarding house in Paris there is
a clock. 1t is always on the mantel; it is
always made of brass, with shiny Cupids
twining brazen wreaths of cabbages
around what looks like a tombstone, in
which reposes the ghost of a clock. This
work of art, which is purely ornamental,
is religiously covered with a glass case,
on which is collected the dust of ages. If
you should remove this sacred protection
and endeavor to shake the clock itself
with the idea of making it go, a few mel
ancholy ticks will be your only reward
An innovation recently has been the
Pneumatic Clock company, which takes
charge of a number of clocks, regulating
them by air power. The pipes have got
out of order on an average twice n week
since it began business, and Paris has
been left timeless .-Paris Cor. New York

a German paper has been very much
startled to find that the beggars of Brus-
sells have mapped the city out ints dis
tricts, and have arranged themselves who
is to work each section on certain days.
But there is really nothing new in this.
Almost every beggar's lodging house in
England, where the habitual tramps con-
gregate at the end of the day, has its
register-sometimes written and kept
with care-in which the houses in the
neighborhood or along certain routes are
described from the beggars' point of
view.
Begging is a profession which runs in
families, and a good deal of valuable
''lore" is passed on from father to son,
and from n generation to another.
There are signs and watchwords which
pass current among the fraternity, and
which it is sometimes useful for the non
professional person to know. A certain
motion of the thumb will cause the most
persistent professional beggar to cease his
opportunities, and even to entertain some
sort of respect for the person making it.
1t is q curious fact, showing the hold
which superstition has got on their
minds. If a policeman turns out n pro-
f%essional beggar's pocket there is one
thing he is almost certain to find there
a piece of coal, which he carries for
luck.-Home Journal.

SKIPPED.
~bookkeeper for the Laramie Coop
Store Absconds.

j. W. Mol, bookkeeper for the Lara
ME City Cooperative mercantile estab-
llshment, departed suddenly last Saturday
after being detected in the act of robbing
the institution. A hasty examination of
the books disclosed the fact that in the
past two weeks he had stolen $22. A
number of coniding merchants were also
mulcted by the sly old Que. Mol was
an expert accountant, and o genial COM
panion. He was a faithful devotee at the
shrine of chance, investing lavishly in lot
terry tickets. Among other great things
accomplished in his checkered career, the
man claimed to have been a member of
the Jury which caused the hanging of a
group OF Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania
several years ago.
The amount of the defaulter's pecula-
tons cannot be determined at present,
but the aggregate sum cannot be sufficient
to in any way cripple the firm.

HE ONCE KILLED A MAN.
How Frank Ketchum, Convicted Per-
Jurer Saved His Life.

1t is o generally known that Frank
ketchum, at present serving a four year
term in the Laramie county penltentiary,
for perjury occupied a cell in that estab-
Enlistment upon a previous occasion.
The former incarceration was early in
1884 and was upon the charge of man
slaughter, Ketchum having killed a des-
perado named McFadden in order to a
his own life.
McFadden both threatened and at
tempted to kill Ketchum before the fatal
collision occurred. In the melee Lee
Miner, at that time foreman of a ranch
on Rawhide creek, was wounded three
times. An hour later McFaddcn, who
was lying in ambush opened fire on Ket-
chum. The latter answered the fusilade
and terminated the career OF the would
be Assassination.
The killer surrendered to the authori.
ties and was ~honorably acquitted, it being
a clear cause of self defense.
Ketchum is an expert telegraph opera,
tor and not a bad fellow. He engaged il
business at Lusk. but was unfortunate il
his ventures.

Whisky drinking is a common vice
among the plantation negroes. Looking
over the books of a plantation store in
T%errebonne parish, 1 observed that among
the items charged in each entry there was
pretty sure to be a quart of whisky. In
deed, whisky occurred oftener in the ac-
counts than bacon or flour.
Indian cornmeal is no longer the staple
breadstuff m the plantations, as in the
days of slavery. The negroes prefer
wheat flour, and insist on having a good
quality. They consume large quantities
of bacon and salt pork. Fresh beef they
seldom eat. They vary the monotony of
hot biscuits and bacon with anne and
fish. Rabbits abound, wild ducks are
plentiful, and rivers, bayous and bays af-
ford an abundant supply of fsh.-E. V.

man on the first Indictment appeared IN

man had been sufficiently punished by
confinement in the county jail.

1T is very wrong" said an o%culist,
''for people to buy glasses without having
the eye examined. They might as well
order medicines to be put up without a
physicians prescription. The eye is a
very delicate organ, and improper glasses
not only cause headaches<lnd other trou-
bles, but often permanent injury to the
sight. Glasses should be regularly pre-
scribed, and then fitted by some one who
understands the business thoroughly.
This is particularly necessary when spec
tacles are worn. "-Philadelphia Times.
